Hole in the wall

Actually, it's a hole in the ceiling. Last weekend we framed out the opening for our eventual spiral staircase into the attic room.

I love that you'll be able to see the staircase through the front windows, especially coming from the west (left in the picture). Opening up that spot in the ceiling also lets each area "borrow" light from the other.

This week, I'll be finishing the insulation in the master bedroom and hanging the recessed lights. With that done, we'll be just about ready for drywall. That will be a happy day.
